PopTodd Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I didn't actually make it on the show, I guess. But they are taking some of my audition video, combining it with footage they took at my restaurant, and airing a spotlight piece this Friday on Channel 5 (NBC) 6 PM news here in Chicago. I'd much rather be on the actual show. Oh well. Still... Chicagoans, tune in to see me talk about Uncle Bub's in Westmont. Oh, and after the spot airs, it'll be available for streaming at the Channel 5 site.I'll post the actual link when it's upped, if any of y'all are interested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

farva Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 What was the audition process like for Check Please? If accepted on the show do they give you any money for the meal or is the whole thing done on your dime? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 What was the audition process like for Check Please? If accepted on the show do they give you any money for the meal or is the whole thing done on your dime? The audition process started on the phone.Then, they had a big group of us over to Adobo Grill in Ukranian Villiage (in their party room) for a cocktail party, where we mingled. They brought us in one-by-one to have an on-camera interview with the producer of the show, where we talked about our restaurant. As to whether or not they pick up the tab, I do not know. I assume that they do, but seeing as how I did not make the cut, I may never know. At any rate, even the audition was fun.But I'm bummed that I didn't make the show.

PopTodd Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 And then, the clip didn't air on TV!!!Although I did find it online.Go here:www.checkplease.tv and look for Uncle Bub's. That's me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
